Conservative Review: Republicans Upset at GOP Congress

Writing at Conservative Review, Daniel Horowitz highlights a new poll with bad news for establishment Republicans.

“Republicans can fool some of the people some of the time, but they can’t fool all the people all the time. They can only go so far in reneging on every campaign promise before the public begins to realize the extent of the betrayal. Now, a new comprehensive poll from the Pew Research Center confirms that this time has come.

Pew asked respondents if GOP leaders, in charge of the newly-minted Republican Congress, have kept their promises. Only 23% of those polled answered affirmatively that indeed Republicans have kept their promises. More importantly, only 37% of Republicans believe that their own party has kept their campaign promises. And only 41% of Republicans approve of their party leadership—that is lower than the percentage of people from all political affiliations who approve of Obama.”
